The mechanic had the same issue on his own Ti frame with a CK headset which is why he had a facing tool.
The Lynskey head tubes are longish too so lots of excess material to play with.
Very simple process. Dunno why shops shy away from it. Quick search came up with the tool for $200 CAD.

Shops don't want to do it for liability reasons. They don't want to risk damaging
a $3000 frame for a $35 service fee.
